Exclusive talent search

We have a network of contacts, and a suite of highly innovative resources, that allow us to source passive, high-calibre candidates, who may not be active in their job search. We utilise high impact digital overviews curated specifically for your opportunity, ensuring maximum attraction. We are always thorough and realistic in our approach, ensuring we never misrepresent the challenges of the role, whilst generating strong role appeal and excitement.

Given we are a boutique firm, we are positioned to headhunt and network more extensively than many other large-scale corporate recruiters. We only partner with businesses that align with ours.

Our services

Proactive talent introduction

With a network of over 35,000 contacts, we proactively work with top talent to identify and source opportunities to align with career aspirations. We are able to match a candidate to an organisation before a hiring campaign commences with our exhaustive approach; ensuring cultural, technical and person-focused alignment.

We are discreet, thorough and purposeful in our introductions. Once engaged, we manage the selection and hiring process to ensure a seamless experience for both parties.

Our services

Interview & Selection Support

Experienced guidance to help you interview with confidence and make better hiring decisions.

Not every business has a dedicated HR or recruitment team, and even experienced managers can benefit from additional support when making important hiring decisions.

Search + Gro provides practical, flexible interview and selection support, working alongside business owners, hiring managers and internal teams to help them confidently assess candidates and identify the right fit.

Whether you need an experienced recruitment professional to participate in your interviews, guide the questioning or provide an independent perspective, we can tailor our involvement to suit your needs.

Our services include:

  • Interview participation and support – Sitting alongside hiring managers during interviews, helping guide discussions, ask insightful questions and assess candidate suitability.
  • Interview preparation and structure – Developing relevant questions and structured interview frameworks to ensure the right areas are explored.
  • Independent candidate interviews – Conducting professional interviews on your behalf or as an additional stage in your existing process.
  • Candidate evaluation and recommendations – Providing objective feedback, comparing shortlisted candidates and identifying potential strengths, gaps and areas for further consideration.
  • Final-stage selection support – Assisting with reference checking, candidate comparisons and final hiring decisions.

Whether it's a single important hire or ongoing interview support, we bring experienced recruitment expertise to your process, without the need to engage us for a full recruitment assignment.
